ANPING TREE HOUSE 巨大樹屋走一趟

【摘要2019.11.6.蘋果】

Tainan’s Anping District is home to charming alleys, delicious snacks, and beautiful sunsets. The area, once the site of a Dutch settlement, has some of Taiwan’s oldest merchant streets. One of the companies that set up shop in the area during the 19th century was Tait and Co., an exporter of sugar and tea.

Over the years, their warehouse in Anping was also used by salt traders, but it was abandoned in the 1950s. Today, the former Tait and Co. Merchant House, now called the Anping Tree House, is a major tourist attraction.

臺南市安平區有些迷人的小巷、美味的小吃以及美麗的晚霞。該區曾經是荷蘭人殖民所在地，擁有一些臺灣最古老的外貿商街。德記洋行是其中一家於十九世紀在該區開店的商號，它是一家砂糖和茶葉的出口商。

他們多年來在安平的倉庫也被鹽商所使用，但它於五○年代就被荒廢不用了。如今被稱為安平樹屋目前是一處主要的觀光景點，其前身為德記洋行。
